SPIRIT 01.-' THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The &Si)lk Chronicle and the Ipswich Journal of Saturday last contain long accounts of a conference between Messrs. Morrison and Wason, the representa tives of Ipswich, and their constituents, in the Shire ball of that town, on Thursday evening last. The meetinef was very numerous, and the result was most gratifyina, affording, as it did, a proof th Members bat when du e e pains are taken to place the • c onduct of fore their constitue nts in a p ro p er light, the latter are seldom indisposed to listen to reason. Mr. M ee _ rison, who first addressed the meeting, was at some pains to remove an impression that he was averse to the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the operation of the New Poor-law, because he had op posed Mr. Walter's motion towards the end of the session. It was imp ossible, he said, that any good would have resulted from such a committee, for no re port could have been presented ; but there was a general understanding amongst Members that at the commencement of the next session a Com mittee should be appointed to investigate the complaints made against the Act. It would ap pear from what took place at this meeting that there is a good deal of excitement in Ipswich on the subject of the Poor-law Amendment Act, and a pledge was given by Mr. Wason that he would move next session for a Committee of inquiry into its opera tion. On another subject—to which great importance is attached in all parts of the kingdom—the ballot, it bad been stated in the Szdfolk Chronicle that Mr. Morrison had recanted his opinion. So far from this being the case, he said that he had not only always advocated the ballot in Parliament, but he was in favour of its adoption from the period that he was old enough to understand what the ballot meant. He felt that when the Legislature conferred the franchise on the peopl e , they meant that they should truly exercise it—that every man should vote upon his own judg ment, and not be influenced by intimidation ; for if in timidation were to be allowed, the Reform Bill would be a curse instead of a benefit. Church-rates, he said, must be given up, for it would be impossible to collect them. The Honourable Gentleman' having gone through various measures which had become the law of the land; came to the Irish Tithe Bill. The conse quence of the course pursued by the House of Lords was, that a large amount of public property would be fairly lost. And who would derive benefit? " Those," he said, " whom he was the least inclined to benefit of any class within the kingdom—the Irish landlords. He thought the House of Lords would regret deeply that the measure was not carried in the late session of Parliament, for he firmly believed if the question were not settled very soon tithes would totally disap pear in Ireland, and the Church must be left to subsist upon the voluntary contributions of its members." Having alluded to the rejection of . the Irish Municipal Reform Bill, the Jewish DiSabilities Repeal Bill, the County Elections Bill, and the Post-office Bill, all thrown out by the Lords, Mr. Morrison observed that " before the Reform Bill the House of Lords possessed, by means of the rotten boroughs, a ma jority• in the House of Commons, and it might, therefore be said that the people were governed by the House of Lords ; but the power of nominating Members in the House of Commons no longer rested with the Peers, and it was therefore perfectly useless on their part to resist the determination of the people, as expressed through their representatives in Parlia ment. if the Lords do not give way, it is impossible that the demand should not be universally made for a change in the constitution of the House of Lords, so that it should work in harmony with the House of Commons." With respect to a Poor-law for Ireland, be had always been an advocate for that measure. It was absurd to suppose that two millions of people would remain peaceable whilst in a state of starvation. If a Poor-law had been introduced into Ireland, that country might now be as prosperous as Lan , eashire. It was because there could be no se curity for property without Poor-law, that people would not invest their money in manufactures af fording employment for the p o p ulation. He be lieved that Ireland with a good Poor-law would rise rapidly from its present prostrate state, and be as prosperous as England or Scotland. Mr. Morrison alluded to Law Reforms, and stated that he was an advocate for the abolition of imprisonment for debt ; he himself bad never arrested a man for debt unless he turned refractory, and refused to surrender his property to be equally divided among his creditors. Having adverted to various other measures, Mr. Mor rison proceeded to give his reasons for supporting Mi • lusters. " I know," he said, " I often agree with the Government in opinion, and we often differ. I support them because, upon the whole, their policy has. I think, been eminently serviceable to the country : and I do say, that if they can not carry on the government, and they will not be en abled to do so unless supported by .Liberal Members and by the constituency of the country, there is little hope f'or the sort of reform which you desire to receive at their hands. The establishment of an ultra-Tory Government in office is quite out of the question. I apprehend that we shall see neither the Duke of Newcastle Premier, nor Lord Winchilsea Secretary of State : and it is quite idle to expect that the Radicals could carry on the affairs of Government. No one who views the power possessed by the Tories, or contemplates the recent elections, and the n i ee lg-balanced state of parties in the principal towns, can be-otherwise than satisfied that it is impossible we can have a Radical Government. If we do not support the . present Ministers, and if they are driven from power, we must have a Cabinet less liberal in their place. If 'see Government lose the confidence of the country. you will a Cabinet com posed of the least liberal of the Whigs and the most liberal of the Tories—the next Government we should haw; would be a Peel-Whig.—(Not no.) You may judge of w h a t wo uld he the policy of such a G o vernment. You say th e presen t Cabinet moves on too slowly ; a Peel-Whig Government would be forced to move, but it would be at a snail's pace indeed."—(Laughter.) i From the favourable reception exper enced Ly Mr. Morrison from the more decided Radicals, the Tories will see that they have but a slender chance of profiting by divisions between different classes of Reformers. 'Whenever a representative comes forward like Mr. „orrison, in a manly manner, and place s the q uestion fairly before his constituents, he will carry them • along with kiln. The people have sufficient good sense to understand that half a loaf is better than no bread. A good deal of pains have been taken in Suffolk to in .flain? the people against the new Poor-law Act. But we have no fear as the result of an inquiry. Much misrepresentation prevails with respect to the new law ; but the truth is sure to prevail. We cannot afford space for a notice of Mr. Wason's speech ; but we may oberve that the ineetine were quite satisfied with his statements. The Tories have, we suspect, as little charee in Ipswich as elsewhere. The conclusions drawn from the recent municipal elections in Ipswich are by no means warranted.—Morning Chronic/e. The Standard will have it that the most perfect lireenony prevails among' the Tories. "We are still s says our Evening the fond illusion," Dukeof Contem porary, " that Lord Lyndhurst, with the o t Issee of ff Commons, Lords, Wellington, commands in theas Sir Robert Peel commands in the Hoand ' that the three leaders act with a perfect harmony and good understanding." Oh yes, there is a perfect liar mosy and good understanding among them as to the adiantage of being in place ; but this seems to be the lily point of agreement. It is reported of George 111. that when he was told of the death of a Law Lori, who had been most assiduous in his attend ance at Court, and between whom and his Majesty there appeared to be a good understanding, he exclaimed , " one of the greatest rascals in my dominions is gone 1" We cannot pretend to say what exclamation would fill from Sir Robert were the exit of his Noble .and Learned Friend to be announced to him ; but we think he would hardly be so much affected by the news as to die of a broken heart. It is just possible he might, like Mr. Pitt in his last moments, exclaim, " Oh, my country !" but it is snore probable that the bereavement would add to the portliness of his person. The history of Lord Lyndhurst's leadership is too brief to allow us to forget any portion of it. We all know with what avidity he endeavoured to seize the occasion for distinction in the Lords which Sir Robert Peel's moderate op.. position to the English Corporation Bill in the Com mons had left to him. His Lordship entered into a treaty offensive and defensive with the Town-clerks of the various Corporations, rallied the more outrage ous Tory Lords around him, and showed a disposition THE SUN, LON‘DON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1836. to fight to the very last for corruption. Sir Robert Peel had retired to Tamworth, but the freaks of his Noble and Learned Friend brought him to town ; and it is most true that the nation is greatly indebted to the Right Hon. Gentleman for the moderation and good sense he displayed on that critical occasion. In fact, Sir Robert in the Commons contributed mainly to the defeat of Lord Lyndhurst in the Peers. So c ompletely was his Lordship disconcerted by thidapparently suc cessful attempt to crush his ambition, that he was for some time a pitiful spectacle to behold ; and Lord Brougham, believing his Lordship fairly down, and anxious that his political death might be accompanied with as little pain as possible, volunteered _a com plimentary speech to set the Noble and Learned Lord right with his own party. The sum and sub stance of Lord Brougham's compliment was, that hough Lord Lyndhurst ,could not possibly have dc. Feated the people of England, yet that it must be ad. mitted he had done all that learning and talents conic do in making the attempt. W e had' our misgivings a the time as to the prudence of Lord Brougham hold inn out a hand to a sinking enemy ; but there can be no doubt that Lord Brougham's motives were kindness and c ommiseration. So much for the harmony and excellent understanding between Sir Robert and Lord Lyndhurst. But the shock, however severe—and Lord Lyndhurst, bold as he unquestionably is, ap peared to sink under it—did not utterly paralyze his Lordship. The Irish Corporation Bill held out another chance for supremacy. Again he appealed to the more desperate and reckless of the party, and again they were tempted by his proffers. Intoxicated by the applause of the frantic Tories, lie forgot himself so far as to denounce one-third of the subjects of the United Kingdom as aliens in language, in religion, and in blood ; and the consequence is that the Irish have struck him to the earth. The attachment of the Tories to Lord Lyndhurst is, of course, selfish ; and the same selfish feeling will lead them to abandon the stricken deer. The Tories have already found out their mistake in the ground they took in opposing the Irish Corporation Bill, and it is understood they mean to recant. Lord Lyndhurst was everything while they thought he was hallooing them on to victory ; but, smarting under defeat and mortification, they will make a scape-goat of his Lordship. It is the fate of all bold parvenu projectors to be cast off without com punction when fortune ceases to favour them. How can there be any thing like harmony and a good un derstanding between Sir Robert Peel and Lord Lynd hurst ? Sir Robert Peel has always dissuaded the Tories from fighting the battles of the Constitution in the Lords. He warned them not to strain too much the power they possessed in the Lords. But Lord Lyndhurst, and those whom he leads in the Lords, utterly disregard the public voice of the nation as ex pressed through its Representatives in the Commons. They are reckless and desperate in every sense of the word. The defiance thrown out to our gallant and high-hearted countrymen of the Sister Isle is a proof of their utter unfitness for the -functions of Govern ment. The party in the House of Commons corre sponding to the party of Lord Lyndhurst in the Lords is, headed by Colonel Sibthorp and Mr. Lechmere Charlton, and not by Sir Robert Peel and Lord Stan ley. Such is Tory harmony I We do not believe that Sir Robert Peel's dislike to Lord Lyndhurst is altogether, or even principally, to he ascribed to the success of his Lordship with the majority of the Peers. In fact, the Right Hon. Baronet sees all his plans for hoodwinking the nation fairly frustrated by the bold and audacious manner in which Lord Lyndhurst goes to work. His Lordship does not varnish over Toryism with any of the plausibilities of which Sir Robert has so great a store. He presents himself to the nation as a brazen-faced Mephistophiles, who laughs to scorn all that Englishmen consider sacred and hold in regard. Sir Robert Peel may now be obliged to vail his bonnet to Lord Lyndhurst ; but he is undeniable to a Tory party, and Lord Lyndhurst is not ; and we, therefore, anticipate the speedy ascendancy of the Right Honourable Baronet. His are lasting quali ties. We wish we could be sure of the permanency of Lord Lyndhurst's triumph, because his Lordship, from his recklessness, would soon involve the Tories in difficulties from which escape would be impossible. On the other hand, the wily and cautious Baronet looks beyond the day ; he does not hazard all the chances of the Tories on one die ; and in all their extremities the Tories can only look to him. Were Sir Robert out of the way, who would think of calling on the nation to trust Lord Lyndhurst ? Sir Robert, therefore, is the key-stone of the Tory arch. With out him they could not make a Ministry which could face the nation a- single day.—Morning Chronicle.. A very foolish morning print, as a set-off against the notorious schisms and distractions of its own pa trons, enlightened the public yesterday with an assu rance that Sir R. Peel and Lord Lyndhurst were all to pieces, and that we ourselves, bumble as we are, had eschewed the Right Hon. Baronet—clinging like leaches to the Learned Baron. • It did, however, so happen, that at the very moment wherein our benevo lent Contemporary was volunteering to " blow the Coals" after this fashion, we were actually blowing our trumpet in honest and earnest triumph at the honours paid to Sir R. Peel by the inhabitants of Edinburgh • and, moreover, while the coal-blower was sending round among the snobs of the pot-houses (his almost only readers) queer tales about the mortal strife be tween the above Conservative chieftains, it was and is notorious in all other circles of society, that Lord Lyndhurst has been prevented from going down to Drayton to meet the Duke of Wellington and a large party of friends, no otherwise than by engagements made at Paris previously to Sir Robert Peel's invita . - tion.— Times. It would be an endless task to expose all the con tradictions, c alumnies, and falsehoods which the Tory journals daily hash up for their readers ; but it may not be altogether unamusing or uninstructive to give a short analysis of a feW of their favourite messes. Whatever ingenuity may have been exercised in the selection, there is exhibited but little skill in the com bination of the ingredients, for in the same dish we find things the most opposite mixed up in.. such alisor der as must be disgusting to any but the most depraved appetite. The assertions that O'Connell designs to dismember the empire and make Ireland a Popish principality—that sixteen millions of people in Eng land and Scotland are prepared to reconquer seven millions of their fellow-subjects in Ireland, may " go down" with some bedlamites who are ready to swallow anything put before them—but when, in the same breath are introduced the statements that O'Connell has no intention of seeking a repeal of the Union, which he uses only as a " trick," and that the Dissen ters of England and Scotland, the majority of the popu lation, are " seditious,' rancorous rebels," cc-operating with the Papists of Ireland, we are surprised that even a bedlamite can be found to digest such a farrago of contra dictions. The assertion of Lord Lyndhurst that the peo ple of Ireland are " aliens in blood, aliens in language, and aliens in religion," is . attempted to be explained vocation that the language away by the insidious eqn: of the Noble incendiary was not intended to apply to the people of Ireland, but to Mr. O'Connell, his fol lowers and supporters. But does this explanation al ter time character of the insult ? W ho are the followers and supporters of Mr. O'Connell ? Will an y one be so re c kl ess o f trut h an d l os t to shame as to assert.that tiic People of Ireland and thefollowers and supporters O'Connell )(, are not identical ? If ever one m an could b e considered the representative and d ele g ate of aof Mr' whole peopl e , and delegate of I Connell is how the represen tative rcland. The very pliancy—com plained of by °opinion,which t h e varying . pha ses public indisputably.rlerecent ; e e r s : tablislies with his his id3sEsit—y of — eourn solut i„ n unanimously passed at t h e General Asso ciation in Dublin, prove s , that tne people are, at all events, not so a lien to the feelings of national honour as to allow the insult to pass unresented. That resolu tion fearlessly and truly declared "Lord L yndhurst to be an eneinY to . t h e peace of I to the sta bility of her connexion with Great. Britain--t a the li berty of the people, and to the safety of the Throne," But perhaps it Will be a ll ege d that the General Association does not e mbody the public opinion of Ireland. We should recommend this allegati on n o t to be urged to the proof. It may not be alto get h er safe to force an Association —comprising members from every class of society, in every part of the king dom—so perfectly, organised that at the direction of the central body, in one moment millions of people would be ready to attest and verify its powers. No! It may not be safe to force an Association of this de scription to produce its credentials. Let us take it for granted that an Association receiving subscriptions every week to the amount of hundreds of pounds, is not altogether destitute of the public confidence. The insulting slander of .Lord Lyndhurst might be de spised and suffered to sink into oblivion, were it not that the taunting cheers which hailed its expression in the House of Lords showed how perfectly that assem bly participated in the sentiment. Let the people of Ireland bear this in tnemory=and it will serve to keep their indignation alive until the British Legislature atone for the wrong which the hereditary portion of it has committed. Let the Dissenters of England and Scotland also bear in mind that the same party who have insulted Ireland, have also, through their leading organ, stigmatised them as " seditious and rancorous rebels ;" and let a community of wrong and insult unite the people in all parts of . the empire for the re , dress of their common grievances—and let the force of this combination be first directed on the citadel of the common oppressors-the House of Peers.—Morning Advertiser. If the Spanish Government and Cortes are wholly deficient in ability to plan, and energy to execute, any great and wise measures to retrieve their falling cause they are not wanting in that ferocity of disposition and truculence of purpose which superficial observers not unfrequently mistake for vigour and determination. We speak of the Cortes as the mere creature of the Government, for it .was chosen in a season of terror and intimidation, Nvhen none but the emis saries aed tools of the Government dare appear either as candidates or voters, unless at the risk of being preferred to a share in the honours of mob-mar tyrology. If, through the process of such a " scull and-cross-bones" election as that which followed the revolution of La Granja and the murders of Madrid, some three or four independent men may have found their way into the Spanish Chamber of Deputies, they are as many of that class as, under all the circum stances, could be expected to obtain admission there, or eves to seek it. At the same time, we are quite con vinced of this, of which indeed there is no want of his torical examples, that if the present Government of Spain really falls out of favour with the democratic party in the nation which has raised it into power, a large proportion of its own creatures in the Cortes, and brought in there for the purpose of voting " black is white" in its support, will not only abandon it to its fate, but join in the popular cry for its dismissal or pu nishment. Of this there have been some symptoms already, but not of a sufficiently decided nature to pro duce any important practical result. But let us sup pose for a moment that the cause of the revolutionists, for we can no longer with truth call it Christina's cause, is the just and really patriotic cause, which ought, if good fortune always waited upon merit, to be the victorious one, what are the Government and the Cortes doing to retrieve the errors of the past, and to ensure success for the future ? The former are calling foielaws mote stringent and tyrannical, to enable them to strangle whatever independence of the Press still exists, and to dispose of political opponents, not Carlists, but Liberal opponents, by arbitrary incar ceration and banishment, without incurring any legal responsibility. These designs, and the carrying on the disgraceful financial juggle which has already assumed so many forms of fraud as to disgust all Europe, besides plundering a considerable portion of it, seem to occupy all the time of the Calatrava Administration. As to the Cortes, they have been engaged in discussing the propriety of establishing a political inquisition, ;hose tribunals of terror and death should be distributed all over the country wherever the nominal power of the " innocent Isabel" is recognised, to murder, under mock forms of justice, every person denounced as a political heretic by its spies and informers. In any country such tribunals would be bad and bloody enough —but in a country so demoralised as Spain, it is im possible to calculate to what atrocious extent the sys tem of civil massacre, under legalised forms, would be carried on. Perhaps Ministers themselves, had they not retracted their original approval of the scheme, from fear it is said, of the effect on foreign Powers, might have soon been numbered among the victims of their own exceptional tribunals, as Philip LEga/ite, Ro bespierre, Denton, and other leading French jacobins, perished by the favourite machine of their liberal policy, the guillotine. What is the next great project which we find these wise and virtuous legislators engaged upon ? Any great extensive and judicious plans for retrieving the affairs of the Queen's Government ?—inspiring confi dence into her subjects ?—regenerating and re-organiz ing her dispirited and demoralized armies ? and mar shalling, if there be the materials for it, a really national opposition to Don Carlos, instead of raising, the craven cry for foreign intervention ? Nothing. of the sort. The French official Paper, the Moniteur, has informed Europe, as our readers might have seen in our columns of yesterday, that the Cortes were engaged so lately as the 26th in voting the forfeiture of Don Carlos's rights, titles, &c., as Prince of Spain ; and, that in a few days from that date they were to occupy themselves with discussing a proposition, the object of which is to prescribe the mode in which that Prince is to be exe cuted whenever he shall be made prisoner I- Thus, while complete shipwreck is making of their power_. while the reins of empire are slipping from their grasp, the last thoughts that linger in the minds of these Libe rals, connected with the exercise of legislative authority, are thoughts of ferocious revenge—studied barbarity and blood I There is something ludicrous, as well as melancholy in the exhibition of such savage imbecility of conduct in men who would fain make the world be lieve that they have the control of the destinies of a great nation. But they who have neither taste nor talent for the proper business of Statesmen and Legislators may be very accompli:died executioners. Since the prediction of one of our Whig Journals, that Colonel Evans would march to the head-quarters of Don Carlos, and hang him up, has not been realised, the Spanish Liberals must perform that operation them selves, with this qualification—When they can. We are not told whether, by legislative enactment, he is to be cut in pieces alive, as the unfortunate Quesada—too faithful to the faithless Regent —was, or whether cannibal rites, similar to those performed over the mangled remains of the brave O'Donnell, are to be performed over the mutilated body of the ill-fated Prince ; but we dare say the directors for the consum mation of this grand work of liberalism will be suffi ciently particular and minute, to show how well the " science" of cold-blooded cruelty is understood by the Liberals of Spain, where no other science except that of ingeniously extracting money from the pockets of credulous foreigners, appears to meet with favourable cultivation. Here is a Senate sitting under the shadow of a flag of liberty, and cherishing sentiments of re publicanism that is worthy to lackey the heels and de vise the appropriate daily recreation of a Nero or Do mitian, in the most corrupt and barbarous period of cruel and imbecile despotism If Don Carlos comes to Madrid a prisoner, he knows what he has to ex pect—if he comes there in any other character, we hope and trust that he will not imitate the example of the Liberals, or retaliate their own brutal decrees upon themselves. We trust he will exercise that clemency which gives to victory t i l t l s e i: m ob a l g es n t ai t i r i o m p i l t i y ies o — f bright estittisleeon radiance, and makes the calamities of even civil _Lort r tz,.. in Herald. obre Despatches dated September 10, were received yes terday morning from the Governor of the Mauritius ; and, dated Oct.

INCENDIARISM.—Another lamentable fire took place on Thursday night last, upon White House farm, about a mile and a half from the town of Halstead. The farm is the property of R. B. Wyatt, Esq. About twelve o'clock on the night in question Mr. Wyatt's bailiff was roused by the barking of his dog, and on looking out of his bed-room window he perceived that a large double-bayed barn was on fire. The flames having communicated with a large stable in which were a number of horses, Mr. Jarman immediately broke open the doors, and succeeded in rescuing eight horses, but every endeavour to save three valuable colts was ineffectual and they perished in the flames. Mr. Butcher, of the Griffin Inn, Halstead, burnt his hands severely in his laudable exertions to remove the poor animals, which appeared to be struck motionless with fright. The following morning their remains presented a shocking spectacle. About 100 sheep, and a great number of pigs, turkeys, and fowls were saved, although many of the latter were destroyed. Notwithstanding the praise worthy exertions of all present, a ten-horse stable, a large doubl-hay94 harp ? horsprshed t cow-h94se shed; and 411 peally 9ev1 1 , 1 14e1:-W,ttilly con sumed, together with about sic Toads of wheat, and 100 quarters of oats in the barn and upon three stackS; The wind 'blowing fqrig t ply the time from the 8 44401-west, the whole of the hpildingq were quipoy an q blaze.
